English Premiership predictions

Fun and games in the English Premiership and Man Citys somewhat audacious bid for Kaka just adds to the entertainment...

Six points separate the top four sides and any dropped points from here on in are going to be costly.

Sports Trader takes a look at the weekend fixtures and makes its picks:

Saturday 17 January
Blackburn v Newcastle - Blackburn win
Bolton v Man Utd - Man Utd Win
Chelsea v Stoke - Chelsea win
Man City v Wigan City - Draw
Sunderland v Aston Villa - Aston Villa Win
West Brom v Middlesbrough - Middlesbrough Win
Hull v Arsenal - Draw

Arsenal fans won't like it but we're backing Hull to hold them the Gunners to a draw.

Blackburn have had a shocking season but Newcastle have looked sorely off the boil so we're expecting Blackburn to take advantage of home-ground advantage.

Sunday 18 January
West Ham v Fulham - West Ham win
Tottenham v Portsmouth - Draw

Can Spurs' get any worse?!

Liverpool host Everton on Monday and we're calling for the draw...
